The last one was absolutely top classs 🤣 value winning over friendship

[@jigglypuxx2985]

I love the last one

[@jackmarino8162]

My tip for those who are planning to snag longest road early, slice the board in half as best you can. This is more irritating than you might think. especially for people who haven't diversified their resources in hopes of gaining them later.

[@BoardGameHangover]

That's a really good one!

[@peterisviksna72]

You have just acquired a fan, good sir!

[@viesturskokarevics2427]

Last tip is the best :D

[@jaked2637]

A lot of good points!

[@mrsimaniedwards]

Great tips!

[@BaltuKobalts]

Wow, this is so gooooood! Keep it up! 🔥🔥🔥

[@BoardGameHangover]

What other games should we investigate? Let us know!

[@roberthill7843]

Puerto Rico and Power Grid

[@zaneannija8138]

Thank’s a lot, this was very helpful! Can you make a video about how to spice up Mysterium game and make it more interesting after long use?

[@BoardGameHangover]

Yes, we love this idea! We'll look into it!

[@rudolfsneibergs6270]

Great video! Can you do a tutorial on "Cirks?" Thanks!

[@drvaldis91]

Hey, both Janis!Going with constructive criticism! This is a common mistake for KZbinrs. Promising to leave something important in the description and then forget about it. Because you mentioned the link quite a few times, I was very disappointed to not find it there. I hope you actually have a nice blog post about this one and you really just forget to post it here.If anything I would like to help you guys.

[@krisjaniszviedrans9871]

A Scythe video would be grate!

[@ralfsalsins9958]

*great

[@BoardGameHangover]

That's a good idea! Will be working on it! Thanks!

[@NubroBruno]

Cool video, is the in depth video still in the making?

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hey Bruno! Yeah, we made one version, but we weren't to happy about it so didn't publish it. We're filming a new one this weekend so fingers crossed we'll be able to upload soon enough. (in 2-3 weeks time)

[@RylanStorm]

The douchebag move is awesome.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Just be careful when you use it! Might end some friendships with that one... :D

[@mohammedfaiq3671]

Cool

[@arthurkurbedzis]

My main tip would be - to avoid 2, 3, 4 and 12; those numbers almost never work.

[@connorstarnes2895]

4 and 10 have the same odds

[@angel62990]

Where u bought the pieces i have the wood ones

[@BoardGameHangover]

It's just a newer version. I think you can now buy these versions everywhere

[@cameronvandevelde4186]

I have a question about trading, can only the active player initiate trades with others? can others initiate a trade with the active player as well?

[@BoardGameHangover]

During the active players turn anyone can offer trades to him as well. The only rule is that everybody can ONLY trade with the active player.

[@D.rod_riguez]

Where did you buy your Catan set?

[@BoardGameHangover]

A long time ago in a local game shop. But I think this is kinda the standard set right now

[@sorataakihiko4875]

my friends benched the game after i abused the hell out of monopoly card xD i traded all my ores for anything besides wheat used monopoly to grab all of the ores back and a 2nd monopoly to get all the wheat..... and build 2 cities..... alltho it looked stupidly fun for me.... they decided we don't need to play this game anymore

[@BoardGameHangover]

Nice move. I have seen it with one Monopoly card. Two is the next level ;) Just give them some time to get over it. And you can tell them that it was a lesson, costly, but a lesson still. /JG

[@kirksellman1999]

Terraforming Mars, Twilight Struggle, and Gloomhaven, please.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Awesome! We actually already have Terraforming Mars planned for the future! So stay tuned!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hey Kirk! We have published a new video on Terraforming Mars - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGrMg2p5aLWJoac . Let us know what you think!

[@kirksellman1999]

@@BoardGameHangover Excellent video on Terraforming Mars tips. They'll help my game. Thank you.

[@stirnisbriedis9859]

I would like to see video on how to rack up wins in "7 wonders". I'm always bit short to pull out win over my friends.

[@BoardGameHangover]

That's a good one! Will be working on it!

[@widearchshark3981]

That last tip... That's low !

[@BoardGameHangover]

It's called Douchebag move for a reason... :D

[@slade-joseph-wilson1822]

He talks about resources like you can have 20. But after you reach 7 you risk losing A LOT

[@BoardGameHangover]

Having more then 7 cards in hand is risky. 7 is the most likely roll when you roll 2 dice and you don't want that robber coming for you!! So yes, always try to get rid of any excess cards as fast as you can.

[@slade-joseph-wilson1822]

@@BoardGameHangover then why do talk like you can have 20 without any risk. It's wierd

[@oskarsstrobergs734]

Please dont put 6&8 together like in 5:13.
